2024 La Fralluca 'Filemone' Vermentino
Place: Suvereto —Tuscany, Italy
Variety: Vermentino
Farming: Organic
La Fralluca is the small organic estate of Luca Recine and Francesca Della Giovampaola, perched among the hills of Suvereto on Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast. Surrounded by woodland and cooled by constant coastal breezes, their vineyards produce wines defined by natural freshness, salinity and a distinctly Mediterranean character.
Filemone is 100% Vermentino, grown on the estate’s stony, limestone-rich soils. Lemon, grapefruit and white peach are layered with citrus blossom, wild herbs and a subtle sea-spray character. Time on lees brings gentle texture to the palate, while vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral line keep everything fresh and focused. Bright, saline and quietly expressive, it’s a beautifully pure expression of coastal Tuscan Vermentino.
